This is the root of the problem in the US. They believe Trump's BS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Populism Quote Populism is a political doctrine that proposes that the common people are exploited by a privileged elite, and which seeks to resolve this. The underlying ideology of populists can be left, right, or center. Its goal is uniting the uncorrupt and the unsophisticated "little man" against the corrupt dominant elites (usually the established politicians) and their camp of followers (usually the rich and the intellectuals). It is guided by the belief that political and social goals are best achieved by the direct actions of the masses. Although it comes into being where mainstream political institutions fail to deliver, there is no identifiable economic or social set of conditions that give rise to it, and it is not confined to any particular social class.[1] Don't fall for it.

stander Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 The German always pay lip service to paying their fair share of their NATO commitment but have never followed through in the end. The German budget for 2017 has only a 5% increase in defense spending. We will have to wait for their 2018 budget to see if they really intend to hold up their end.

Unemployment is low, growth is good, stock market is up. Not bad. Liberal media aside. LOL Was Obama the best president ever? Probably not. But he was far from terrible.

The Germans look after the health needs of their people. If the Yanks are so concerned about the welfare of their munitions makers throw some more of your own cash to them. The pledge of a commitment to NATO countries is 2% of GDP by 2024 for ALL defence spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not obama Your comment about disability is such a mess, there's no point in trying to extrat sense from it. As for the stock market.of course it shot up. Trump is going to drastically cut corporate taxes which will massively increase dividends. He also wants to lower taxes on income corporattions further repatriate to the US. Last time that happened, a lot of that extra cash went to stock buybacks which will further increase the value of the stocks. This has very little relevance or importance to Americans struggling from paycheck to paycheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw George Bush Jr. on TV and it almost brought tears to my eyes. Oh, to have the good ol' days when he was President. And I have some very conservative friends who now look back on Obama with nothing but warmth and admiration. Before Donald is done, Benedict Arnold will look like a hero. The whole issue of NATO and paying it's fair share was not quite so pressing, because under the previous administration, there was much less emphasis on military expansion. I think Mr. Trump will see how lonely it can get if he tries a few military mis-adventures. The Europeans are pretty quick to decide that staying home is the best option.

Not sure how much that helps trump's "forgotten Americans" that generally aren't in the stock market. Personally I'd watch out for a bubble but I'm not going to blame trump on that ... that's the nature of markets that get overly frothy overly fast.
